Enkephalin, a natural ligand for opiate receptors is composed of the pentapeptides H 2N Tyr Gly Gly Phe Met OH and H 2N Tyr Gly Gly Phe Leu OH. Two dimensional 1 H NMR techniques can be used to determine the structure of Leucine Enkephalin in solution and to build a foundation for research on the interaction between Enkephalin and the membrane.
